## Errors

### 401 Unauthorized

The credential is missing, invalid, expired or revoked (`unauthorized`), or was sent in a way v3 doesn’t accept (see the examples).

Example payload: unauthorized (Missing, malformed, expired or revoked credential)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "unauthorized",
    "message": "Access denied"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

Example payload: unsupported\_auth\_scheme (Sent as HTTP basic, which v3 does not accept)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "unsupported_auth_scheme",
    "message": "Send the credential as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`; v3 does not accept HTTP basic"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

Example payload: credential\_in\_query (Sent as the \`auth\_token\` query parameter)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "credential_in_query",
    "message": "Credentials must be sent in the Authorization header"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

| `error` required | object | |
| `error.code` required | string | Machine-readable code. Branch on this, not the message. Allowed values: `unauthorized`, `unsupported_auth_scheme`, `credential_in_query`, `access_denied`, `insufficient_scope`, `requires_user_token`, `project_restricted`, `account_inactive`, `account_parked`, `feature_unavailable`, `not_found`, `validation_error`, `delete_failed`, `limit_reached`, `rate_limit_exceeded`, `concurrent_request`, `streams_provisioning`, `ingestion_key_not_accepted`, `maintenance_mode`, `invalid_parameter`, `forbidden_attributes`, `service_unavailable`, `ambiguous_account`, `fault_merged`. |
| `error.message` required | string | Human-readable explanation. |
| `error.details` | array\<object> \| object | A list of `{field, message}` on `validation_error` and `invalid_parameter`, and on `feature_unavailable` or `limit_reached` when one field caused the refusal; `{required_scope, token_scopes}` on `insufficient_scope`; `{merged_into, location}` on `fault_merged`. Absent when there's nothing to add. |
| `meta` | object | |
| `meta.request_id` | string | Unique identifier for the request, for correlating with support. |

### 403 Forbidden

The credential isn’t allowed to do this. `error.code` says why. An account or project the credential doesn’t cover is 404 `not_found`, not 403.

Example payload: access\_denied (The credential isn't allowed to do this to this record)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "access_denied",
    "message": "Access denied"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

Example payload: insufficient\_scope (The credential lacks the permission this endpoint requires)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "insufficient_scope",
    "message": "Insufficient scope",
    "details": {
      "required_scope": "faults:write",
      "token_scopes": [
        "faults:read",
        "insights:read"
      ]
    }
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

Example payload: requires\_user\_token (The endpoint records who acted, and an account token has nobody)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "requires_user_token",
    "message": "This endpoint records the person who acted, so it requires a user credential rather than an account token"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

Example payload: project\_restricted (A project-restricted credential cannot create a project)

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "project_restricted",
    "message": "Project-restricted tokens cannot create projects"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```

### 404 Not Found

Resource not found

Example payload

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "Resource not found"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }

Absent when there's nothing to add. |
| `meta` | object | |
| `meta.request_id` | string | Unique identifier for the request, for correlating with support. |

### 422 Unprocessable Content

No path names the account, so the API token has to. This is returned when the token covers more than one account and the account a request applies to cannot be determined. Use a token bound to a single account.

Example payload

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "ambiguous_account",
    "message": "This credential covers more than one account, so the account a request applies to is ambiguous. Use a token bound to a single account."
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "abc123"
  }
}
```
